DIFFICULTY

There is nothing like a difficulty.

You should turn adverse circumstances

to your advantage.

“Difficulty is only a word

indicating the degree of strength requisite

for accomplishing particular objects.

A mere notice of the necessity for extortion,

a bug bear to children and fools;

ONLY a stimulus to men.”

BALANCE OF MIND

Whatever the favourable

or

adverse circumstances you may be facing,

you should not lose your balance.

“Do not lose balance either in pain or in pleasure.

Do not befriend one too much nor show unfriendliness to any.”
